Sienna Sliding Door

[98 Greenie]

I've got major rattles in each sliding door on my 98 Sienna. I want to take the door apart and try to find them. Can anyone offer info on popping the inside of those sliding doors?

Thanks

I've had the same problem with rattles in one of the sliding doors of my 99 Sienna. However, the rattles are not eminating from within the door. In my case it turns out that the door was rattling near the top of the track that spans the entire length of the door opening. This track guides the door during opening/closing via a small "arm" that bolts to the door on one side, and a nylon/ball bearing guide roller that follows the channel inside the track. The guide roller wears down over time and repeated open/close cycles - which explains why only the power door was exhibiting this problem in my case since 99% of the time that's the only door we use. As the roller wears down, it introduces more "play" between it and the track - eventually enough play that the roller starts to bang around inside the track even when the door is closed. Replacing this roller cured the problem.
